Novotek (SE:NTEK) is an independent and public solution provider for industrial automation and information systems. Novotek believes that real-time information is the key to optimize manufacturing processes. Their strategy is to provide this information with complete solutions combining "best-in-class" software with market knowledge and technical implementation know-how.

Founded in 1986, Novotek has built up extensive knowledge of their customers' areas of business and manufacturing processes. Since they believe that speaking the same language is crucial to a successful relationship, their people focus on industry specific requirements, terminology and production aspects. This has resulted in market specific solution packs eg. for metals, aluminum, semiconductor, PCB assembly and medical devices. These solutions include work-in-process tracking, workflow and internal supply chain management, quality management and performance analysis.

In order to guide customers to the solution that best fits their requirements and (maybe yet unknown) needs, Novotek has adopted a successful 5-step solution model . Starting with gathering initial but essential process information, these steps include an independent solution scan, resulting in a clear proposal with a functional and technical solution design. When desired, Novotek also can provide a (factory connected) proof-of-concept in a very short period of time, to proof the main working principles of the presented solution.

Novotek's relationship does not end by delivering the solution only. Since the best products are best employed and used optimally with the right training and technical support, Novotek's experienced consultants and trainers provide hands-on training sessions and on-site implementation assistance. With 16 offices in most countries of Northern-Europe, Novotek can deliver local implementation and maintenance services through consultancy, help-desk and emergency support, guaranteeing an optimal operational performance.
